Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope your week is super spooky! I almost ran into a huge spiderweb that would have killed me. Think Lord of the rings...yeah. My companion saved my life. Spider is Kumo in Japanese. Kumo also means cloud...

I was so happy to hear from the Stones this week! Thanks for the package, pictures and letters! It made my week!

THis week was really great. We taught three lessons to a new investigator named tsugumi. she is really cute and is basically your average teenage girl. Loves to shop and loves boybands. SHe is always asking me which boy I think is cutest out of her favorite band and Its always awkward haha. SHe doesnt have a lot of interest in the church right now, just learning english, so thats been kind of rough in determining weather or not to keep teaching her, but I do feel like we hsould continue to fellowship her and teach by example and through love so even if she doenst get baptized right now she can remember the spirit she felt when she meets future missionaries. 

We had a reallllly great lessona bout the plan of salvation with this girl named Chinatsu. SHe is so cute! Talk about a prepared person. It was probably the best lesson Ive taught so far. We really prepared well and It paid off. Preparation is so important. Also I realized that Heavenly Father really trusts me to do this work. It was a neat experience. 

We went to a halloween party for one of our english class students. She made this huuuge shokuji with all this awesome food. SHe is so funny! We do a lot of stuff with her on Pdays. She knows everything about the gospel but isnt ready to accept it yet. We did some good fellowshipping with two of her friends at the party and got to pray over the food and sing a hymn at the party too. It was good to be able to fufill our missionary purpose at an event like that. 

We went on splits with the sister training leaders. it was fun to work with them- they are both super nice and brought a great spirit to our appartment. 

We had a little miracle with a less active who made an appointment with us but we couldnt find her house. so she suggested we meet at the church! it was the best BRT ever! She said she wants to come to church and I know she knows its true, but she makes these rock things for a hobby and like puts flowers on them and sundays are the days she can sell thme at events so its kind of tricky. so I am praying that she can make the decision to put god first and come to church. I know that she will be so blessed if she does. We have so many ward members that she would get along with great.

SPeaking of the ward memebers, they are doing such a great job to help us! they take us to find less actives, do lots of mogis an joints- its so awesome. and they give us lots of food which is really nice. 

Miss you all! Thanks for your emails and letters I love hearing about whats going on at home - I will try to respond as fast as I can!
